Rif: Re: [squid-users] Messenger & NTLM authentication

Hello,

I have found a workaround to make Messenger work using NTLM authentication.

At http://apserver.sourceforge.net/ it is possible to download a tool (APS)
that stands as an intermediate proxy between the client and Squid.

You only need to install APS and Python and then set APS as a local proxy
in Messenger.

Antonio Manfreda

Most likely the Messenger version you are usi
g does not support NTLM
authentication to HTTP proxies.

Try makeing sure Basic authentication is enabled as well in your squid
configuration.

I'm using Microsoft Messenger 6.1 (latest version).

Unfortunately, I can't use basic authentication because my organization
security policy does not allow password to be transmitted over the network
in clear text.
